‘The View’s Stars Attempt Amber Glenn’s Viral ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Trick

What To Know
- Amber Glenn showed off her flexibility with a leg lift trick on the October 6 episode of Dancing With the Stars.
- Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin attempted to recreate the move backstage at The View.
Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov had jaws dropping with a trick they implemented into their rumba on the October 6 episode of Dancing With the Stars. At the dance, set to Mariah Carey‘s “Hero,” Glenn held onto her partners hands and bent forward, lifting one leg straight up in the air and shooting her head toward the floor.
Derek Hough commented that he “can’t wait” to see people try the difficult move at home, and Glenn hilariously just responded, “Hospital.” Of course, that hasn’t stopped fans from attempting it, and The View co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin were among those who got in on the fun.
For their attempt, Haines took on Glenn’s part, while Griffin was the stabilizer. Haines got her leg up to about Griffin’s shoulder before falling to the floor and rolling over, taking her co-host to the ground with her. Both women were hysterically laughing over the flub.

“No co-host was harmed in the making,” the ladies captioned a joint Instagram video of the dance move. Many commenters noted how brave Griffin was for putting her face in harm’s way, and others suggested they try switching positions to see if they’re more successful that way.
“Alyssa, you should’ve been the one trying and Sara holding you. The bodies are not well balanced, but nice try,” one person wrote. Someone else said, “Alyssa almost getting kicked in the face lol. As a few people have suggested we need to see her attempt next.”
Glenn and Pashkov scored a 23/30 for their rumba, earning a 7 from Carrie Ann Inaba and 8s from Hough and Bruno Tonioli. They made it through this week’s elimination and will return to the dance floor for Super Bowl Night on October 13. This time, they’ll be dancing a samba to “Mi Gente” by J Balvin and Willy William.
